The source said: ‘James and Helen have kept their relationship relatively low-key, enjoying dates at coffee shops and restaurants, and going for walks since the latter end of 2023.
‘But recently they’ve started to see more of each other and they’re enjoying each other’s company. They haven’t said they’re exclusive yet but they’re certainly dating.
‘They have a lot in common, especially both coming out of marriage splits. It’s fair to say they’ve helped each other in what has been a tough period of their lives.’

has approached James’ representatives for comment.
It’s believed James and Helen, a divorced mother-of-two who is a who is a high-flying director at advertising giants WPP, were introduced via a mutual friend who appreciated they’d both experienced similar relationship heartbreak.
They were pictured together last March after enjoying a date at Chiltern Firehouse, but at the time Helen’s identity was not revealed.
The insider added: ‘The relationship is still in its early stages but both James and Helen are unsure where it will end up.
‘James’s work and his love of DJing means nothing is straight forward, and Helen has two kids, so it’s harder to simply down tools and visit him abroad when he’s playing in some cool nightclub overseas.
‘But they’re not putting any pressure on it and are just having fun together. They’re exactly what they both need right now.’
The couple were seen on Saturday night at the exclusive sushi restaurant in Knightsbridge Clap, located around the corner from Harrods, offering ribeye steaks at £98, a starter Scallops & Foie Gras at £52.50 and cocktails for £19, and is favoured by celebs and footballers like Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka.

An onlooker said: ‘They didn’t seem to notice anybody else in the restaurant and spent the whole time looking into each other’s eyes. They were laughing, joking and holding hands.
‘When they had finished their meal, they took a corner table and were kissing and cuddling, and it was clear they are really close. It was like they were on a first date.’
Chloe revealed last month she knows the former Wasps flanker has been ‘having fun’ seeing other people, but maintained the pair still have a healthy relationship as they continue to co-parent.

Speaking to The Sun last month, Chloe – the daughter of veteran TV couple Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan – admitted the latter stages of their marriage was ‘awful’, ‘dark’ and ‘painful’.
Chloe said: ‘When you tell people that you are divorcing, everyone sees it as such a negative thing.
‘They say: ‘This is going to be so hard for you.’ And, yes, it is, but the hardest bit was when we were married.
Chloe has now started dating again but ‘nothing feels right’ for her yet – as she admitted James has been seeing other people and ‘having fun’

‘I think more people should see it as a positive thing. I’m so proud of myself and so relieved that I actually called it a day.’
After their split, the couple still lived together in their north London home and were often spotted together with Bodhi as they tried to be as amicable as they could for their little girl.
